The Film and Television Charity

Who we are

We’re the charity working behind the scenes of the UK film, TV and cinema industry. From research to writing, through casting and production, to editing, sales, distribution and exhibition, we support the lives of everyone involved.

The Film and TV Charity was founded back in the early days of cinema in 1924, and we’re almost reaching our centenary year. Today, we’re pleased to be able to offer a wide range of financial, practical and emotional support to people who have talent, spark and dedication … and yet find obstacles in their way. 

We have bold ambitions for our work in this world-beating industry. Together, we want to act as a gamechanger by starting with what individuals need, by creating distinct, evidence-based programmes, by being accessible and relevant and by helping to build a more diverse and inclusive industry.
